The Nestlé works council in Reus has demanded that management exhaust all alternative avenues before carrying out the dismissal of eight employees. The labor representation rejects the Employment Regulation File announced by the multinational and demands negotiations based on transparency.
The workers consider the measure inadmissible given that the company maintains positive economic results in Spain. They have obtained profits in the last fiscal years according to the data provided by the union.
The staff proposes internal redeployments
The labor representation has presented a range of solutions to avoid contract terminations. They propose internal reassignments within the company structure as a first viable option.
They also include voluntary incentivized layoffs among the measures to be studied. Partial or early retirements are part of the package of alternatives offered to the human resources department.
"The immediate opening of a real, transparent negotiation with the will to reach an agreement" - Nestlé Works Council in Reus
These proposals seek to adapt the workforce without resorting to collective dismissal. Training and professional adaptation plans complete the roadmap presented by the union delegates.
The impact transcends the factory
The committee warns of great concern and uncertainty among the staff and their families. The conflict generates tension beyond the doors of the industrial plant located in the capital of Baix Camp.
There is a direct impact on the local economy and the social fabric of Camp de Tarragona. The job stability of these eight people affects the regional environment, according to the representatives.
The delegates reaffirm their commitment to the defense of employment and respect for all affected workers. They describe the process initiated by the company as the tip of the iceberg of a situation that requires urgent attention.
